The Epilepsy Foundation of San Diego County is celebrating 70 years of service to the San Diego community at the 31st annual Gingerbread City Gala.  

Since 1954, the Epilepsy Foundation of San Diego County (EFSDC) has improved the lives of people affected by epilepsy through education, advocacy, research and connection. EFSDC provides all programs and services free of charge, including counseling, career development, advocacy information and referrals, as well as support groups for individuals, caregivers and families, and specialized programming for children, teens and young adults.

To support our mission and kick-off the holiday season, we are hosting the 31st Annual Gingerbread City Gala on Wednesday, December 11, 2024, at the San Diego Natural History Museum. This festive event features our nationally recognized gingerbread competition, live and silent auctions, interactive museum exhibits, in addition to a dinner and awards program.

This highly anticipated event brings together the area's most influential community advocates, leaders, medical experts and philanthropists to generate critical funding to support our mission. Our gingerbread competition brings media coverage throughout the region.

We anticipate 300 guests and sponsor companies to be in attendance at this highly-anticipated annual event.  Event information goes out to our database of more than 15,000 contacts, as well as in ads, social media posts and on news programming.
